Well, since it was my talk page he kept vandalising, I felt entitled to xD &mdash; riana_dzasta wreak havoc-damage report 05:12, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Lucky bugger! I've had my userpage messed up once, and now my talkpage screwed up 3 times. Somehow, having your page vandalised is such a badge of honour :D Well, Alphachimp's indef blocked him, so we can forget about that one. On to the next nutter! &mdash; riana_dzasta wreak havoc-damage report 05:18, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * You may be excited to learn that he did it one more time, but anonymously. Blocked immediately by Alpha. Vandalism gives me the willies Ahahaha, get it? Get it? ... Sorry. &mdash; riana_dzasta wreak havoc-damage report 05:39, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

"It was a little more literal than that, I think--Vercalos 05:47, 7 October 2006 (UTC)" – what do you mean? &mdash; riana_dzasta wreak havoc-damage report 05:48, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I was referring to to the pun, and Alpha's response.--Vercalos 05:49, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Aye. Sorry, I'm a bit slow, trying to pretend I'm not on Wikipedia at university, and all. &mdash; riana_dzasta wreak havoc-damage report 05:55, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I gather it's a banned site?--Vercalos 05:55, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * No, just geeky :D And I'm meant to be doing work, so I'm getting suspicious looks from people who keep seeing the blaring orange bar on my page (oh, and the freakin' penises, even though they show up pretty small in the popups). On another happy note – I've officially hit vn-5. Time to run for adminship!!! :p &mdash; riana_dzasta wreak havoc-damage report 06:09, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I honestly have no idea what that is..--Vercalos 06:10, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * vn-5? 5 vandalism hits. Hip, hip, hooray! &mdash; riana_dzasta wreak havoc-damage report 06:14, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

I did not delete that Jack Thompson post, I added one.

To be exact, the one I added is "HOW I HATE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ha. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.96.212.21 (talk • contribs) Stop accusing me! I only added one and now you call me a vandal? This is an "opinion page". Maybe you don't know that! You talk, not accuse. You are Jack Thompson in disguise! You fraud is discovered! I have a screwed mind!74.96.212.21 01:44, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

That wasn't a personal attack! /b/ was almost shut down like ten times for posting child porn, that defines being filled with pedopholes.

Fair enough. Never mind, I'm sorry.

Asuma's death

Mythbusters mentos/soda idea question regarding forum
Hi, I'm sorry to bother you but I don't know where the forum is that you mentioned earlier for me to post my idea of the mentos/soda reaction being a modern version of the pop rocks/soda myth, could you tell me where to go, thank you - RVDDP2501 01:14, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream
Hi. Do you know for a fact that the removal of the Nimdok scenaro made it impossible to complete I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream (computer game), or is that conjecture on your part? I would have guessed that the gamemakers would have made the change in such a way that the game could still be won, so I added a fact tag to your contribution until you cite your reference. :-) Primogen 22:48, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind words. These things happen here sometimes and I have grown to accept it. There will always be one in the bunch..LOL. -- Kf4bdy talk contribs 06:40, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Asuma's last words
Assuming I'm thinking of the same thing that you are, right after he whispers to Shikamaru, the next thing Asuma says uses the kanji 頼 "trust", "request". Apparently he reveals the identity of the "king" and then Shikamaru understands what Asuma was doing and/or what he must do. --Pentasyllabic 00:20, 27 October 2006 (UTC)


 * There isn't any context in that particular instance, but he does use the same kanji when he's talking to Ino (チョウジもシカマルも・・・こいつら不器用だからな・・・頼む・・・ "Choji and Shikamaru... these guys are awkward/clumsy, therefore... I request/beg...") (translator) --Pentasyllabic 00:53, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Your comment on the "Personnal attack report page"
Thank you for your time in reading my report on the PA report page. You commented:

''Wrong place. Pages altered maliciously fall under vandalism, not personal attacks. Personal attacks are insults/confrontations towards other users.)''

I am a relatively new user, and have previously editted irregularly without a username. I never engaged in any edit wars. My contributions were to gather sourses on some subject, write a summary of the respective information, and put it on Wikipedia, in the idea that good-faith users would check through, and improve it. I never started an article before september 2006, but have expanded, sometimes substantially, existing stubs.

Once every 4-6 months I would randomly check the pages I previously editted. In about 60-80% of cases I was very pleased to discover that someone took pain to read through and correct grammar, double check the sourses, and add more very useful stuff. I felt proud to be part of such a community. In about 10-30% the edits were itchy, i.e. piecies of information were erased, sometimes in quite a biased way. But the core of my original contribution was still present. 5-10% of my edits were vandalized, but there was nothing I could do about it.

In September I thought about starting articles myself, and uploading pictures, files. I engaged in some discussions about some subjects with several users. Most of them are neutral. A good 1/4 are strongly biased, but agree to compromises if presented in a way more acceptable to them. And none of them ever, before user:Mikkalai, engaded in personl attacks.

From reading the history of the last 48 hours I understand that this user was in some edit wars with some other user Bonaparte, who was banned. Apparently Mikkalai thought I am his arch enemy Bonaparte. He targetted all the pages I contributted to in the last days, and revertted everything, including substantial contributions by other users. I asked him kindly several times to explain his actions. There was no answer on any page. I was in the imposibility to edit anything because of Makkalai. He also threatened me to ban me from Wikipedia. He does not motivate his actions, and he does not discuss anything. He just reverts my pages. Mine, not someone's else, regardless of their content. He reverted even spelling mistakes!

He was targetting me personally.So I asked for administrators' protection from personal attacks from Mikkalai.

I would have expected Mikkalai to appologize and become constructive, but obviously it is not the case. From your answer, I understand that I should revert the vandalism done by Mikkalai. What if this infuriates Mikkalai more? What should I do if he continues to revert all my edits? Should I become more agressive too, is that what you are suggesting?

Of course, if Mikkalai will not revert again, the issue would be closed. But how far can I go if he continues to target pages editted by me? I hope you will not suggest me to engage in all-out war with Mikkalai, I hate wars! I would appreciate if you would answer :Dc76 17:42, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

I guess you should revert him if you feel that his changes are inappropriate, and then talk to him. If he reverts again, it should be taken to some sort of dispute resolution page, but not AI.V Academic Challenger
